I just netflixed Disk 1 of Season 8 to get the episode: "You Only Move Twice". It is the one with the Hank Scorpio / James Bond spoof.

That's not necessarily my favorite, but I wanted to see it.

I stopped watching the Simpsons 10 or 12 years ago, but I watched regularly for the first 12 years.

What episodes from any seaason are worth going back to rewatch?

In the same season there are probably 5 of the best episodes on most Simpsons fans top lists.

"El Viaje Misterioso de Nuestro Jomer"
"Homer vs the 18th Amendment"
"A Milhouse Divided"
"Itchy, Scratchy, and Poochie Show'
"Homers Enemy"

To name just a couple from the same season...which is clearly the best season.

There's a pretty good thread on the best Simpsons episodes. Maybe someone not as lazy as me is good enough to bump it for you.

Actually that was pretty easy.

My two favorite episodes are the Frank Grimes episode or the Lemon Tree episode.

Homer the Astronaut and Terror Lake/Sideshow Bob episodes for me.

Homer at the bat, in 1992. The show turned to raunchy trash humor a couple years later and was never the same.

Good ones so far, like the trillion dollar note episode and camp crusty.
Also Max Power and of course, the stone cutters - anything with Patrick Stewart has to be there. Oh and I have to throw in the trip to Australia.

Pretty much anything from the first 9-10 seasons are pretty solid. I've been watching since they were shorts on Tracey Ullman and still watch today, some are pretty good, but they just aren't as memorable as the earlier ones.

Some of my favorites not yet mentioned:
Stark Raving Dad
Flaming Moe's
Mr. Plow
Bart the Murderer
Bart Sells His Soul

S13 "Poppa's Got a Brand New Badge" is one of my favorites.

Will always be my favorite and contains my favorite quote from the series.

McAllister: Arr, matey. Nary a warning light to be seen. 'Tis clear
sailing ahead for our precious cargo.
Sailor: Uh, would that be the hot pants, sir?
McAllister: Aye, the hot pants.

I watched Mr. Plow last night.

My favorite bit from the Mr Plow episode ... other than the obvious "Its a pornography store...I was buying pornography" is when hes on the cliff up the mountain and changes the radio dial to tilt the car back.

I thought that was so clever

And maggie makes three. It's skyrocketed to the top now that I have a daughter.

Manly tears.

Almost any Troy McClure/Lionel Hutz episode.

Works on contingency? No, Money Down!

Remember when he ate my goldfish, and then you lied to me and said I never had any goldfish. But why did I have the bowl, Bart? WHY DID I HAVE THE BOWL?

Or what? You'll release the dogs or the bees? Or the dogs with bees in thier mouth? And when they bark they shoot bees at you?

Homer: They were the suckiest bunch of sucks that ever sucked.

Marge: Homer!

Homer: Gotta go my damn wiener kids are listening.

Cape Feare - the extended take of sideshow bob and the rakes may be one of the funniest bits ever. Then singing the HMS pinafore until the boat runs aground by the wh0re house...where all the cops are.

Ralph loves Lisa
Selma's choice
Homer at the bat
Who shot mr Burns
Whacking day
Maggie's first word (one of first flashbacks)

All good suggestions. I like the 21 (or 22) short episodes about Springfield.

Smithers, release the robotic Richard Simmons.

Cape Feare

Mr Plow

King-Size Homer

when Homer becomes an adult education teacher

These are all fair selections if we are choosing the best Simpsons episodes that do not include the words "Last Exit to Springfield" in the episode title.

Kudos everyone.
